Recently as a MGTOW I found myself to get into the habit of saying to myself “Sigh another pussy whipped idiot” when someone said something I thought was stupid and I had the feeling that the entire world must have gone insane. But is that really what is going on? I would find it strange that everyone is as stupid as they seem so I decided to challenge my ideas and find out why I feel this way, is everyone really as stupid as they seem or is it me? And this is the answer I came up with in the form of a script (Excuse me for that I already wrote it as a script cause I made a video about it for fun and I don’t want to rewrite it but I still want to share it here):
Hey there, have you ever asked yourself “Is it just me or is everyone around me an idiot?!”
Cause you clicked on this video I assume you have and there are a few good reasons for that and I would like to tell you about them.
To start with lets take a look at a discussion between two people that have a controversial discussion on the internet that ends up in a lot of hate and insults at the end and ask ourselves whether the people in question are actually as stupid as they may seem.Lets call the two people having the discussion Person A and Person B. So here we go!
Person A: “A free market is neccesary for a healthy economy, if there is any interference with the free market it will hurt the economy”
Person B: “If we allow people to do what they want they will always be selfish then who will build the roads and pay for the street lighting!”
Person A: “Are you an idiot? As long as there is a market for something then someone will make it happen, some business will pick up the slack and try to earn money out of it. Who knows maybe they won’t even make the average people pay for it like the government with taxes but instead make the big businesses pay for it.”
Person B: “Wtf, they are going to make a monopoly out of it and make the prices sky high for anyone but their little business friends if we let them do that how can you be so stupid!”
I won’t go into which side of the argument I agree with but if you have a opinion on this you probably think that the opposing side is an idiot.
But it would be impossible for both sides to be stupid or more stupid than the other. At least one side needs to have some sort of point? Even if the answer is a compromise they wouldn’t both be stupid rather they would both have been making a good point with a some reason to it.
But then how can it be that at the end of this discussion everyone thinks the everyone else is a moron.Well to get to the bottom of this lets take a closer look at this discussion:
In his first sentence Person A makes a statement about interference with the free market while person B answers by disagreeing with his opinion. Then Person A follows with “Are you stupid?” clearly distressed by the answer he got. Why is that? Why did Person A come to the conclusion that Person B must be an idiot if person B disagrees with him.
To call Person B an idiot he is assuming that Person B is wrong and himself to be correct, this must mean that he is confident in his answer.
With Person A knowing nothing about Person B to be confident in his answer instead of asking for the reasoning behind Person B’s thoughts despite the very real possibility Person B might be an expert in the field.To be confident in your answer despite the other side possibly knowing more about this subject means he is either highly knowledgeable about the subject or he thinks of himself to more qualified than the person he thinks might be on the other side.
So he thinks of the other person to be less knowledgeable about the subject than himself, he thus must either know a lot or he underestimates every other person and thus respectively overestimates his own ability in this subject because he doesn’t know who is on the other side as previously said it might be an expert.
This is actually a phenomena that has previously been observed and published by psychologists under the name: “Illusory superiority”,However this is only to be used in statistics if you apply this to an individual case you will find yourself to often be wrong for if you are actually an expert it is more than likely you know more than the other person however does simply knowing more make you more confident in your answer? For Person A to have behaved himself like that he must have been confident in his answer.
There is a common proverb that shows the opposite is: The more I know the more I know I don’t know.
Someone who is very knowledgeable about something will often understand how little they actually understand. And just like everyone you probably have either a hobby or a job which you know a bit more about than other people.
And if you know more than other people then the people around you must seem very “Ill informed” on the subject compared to you to say it lightly.If you are more knowledgeable in those hobbies and/ or jobs, have as many different hobbies and / or jobs as other people and yet you still feel like the other people in them are more often than not acting very irrationally despite them being about as knowledgeable as you in your field of expertise/ and or hobby.
All the while you probably also that that you don’t know everything and yet you still feel like they can sometimes be idiots.
The question inevitably arises,
Are you not as good at it as you thought you were and you simply still don’t know that yet? or do the other people only look stupid to you and they actually aren’t all that bad?Or to put that in more concrete terms: The amount of people you feel are stupid compared to the actual ratio of people you see that are stupid in your environment don’t add up.
However we already said you are good at that subject earlier, after all you probably put a lot of time in your work and hobbies so the only thing that is left is the last one.
This means you are biased! And though I would love to claim that I am the first one to discovere this amazing fact sadly those annoying psychologists again came before me and named it: “Negativity bias”
To give you a quick summary of it, and please psychologists don’t cringe I am oversimplifying. Negativity bias means that if you lose a 100 bucks and you gain a hundred the loss will affect you more than what you gained, or you simply felt worse over it.The people around you aren’t actually that stupid in the field you’re good at, it really is just your brain messing with you, the only people who don’t know what they’re talking about is those who make big statements not having proven them.
However that might just be the next big revolution so you might want to just ask him next time “Why do think that?” instead of dismissing him as stupid.Good night Ladies and Gentlemen this Wolve is going to poke fun at some idiots on the internet.
Preschool, infant & junior, colleges, universities and the media …. all major in teaching stupidity.
It is unspeak and double think that you are seeing around you.
The answer … as you well know … is YES … most people ‘out there’ are stupid.
Not to be accusatory but aren’t you as well? Not excepting myself from this rule either.
How many things do you really know about in this world? What do you know of military strategy? Tactics? To manage a business? What about teaching how much do you know about that? I can go on and on but the point is everyone is stupid about a lot of things, the matter in question is whether or not we understand we are and go ahead to say stupid things thinking we’re smarter than we are.Part of being intelligent is knowing limits of your ability.
I think this is what is missing.
Most have been tought ‘if you want it hard enough … you’ll succeed’
Which is bollocks for 99%.
Not knowing limits leads to Hiltlery.
A stupid person that know their limit … is not stupid.
The ability to question ideas has been squashed by society. We are now left with the latest narrative or nothing.
Say something against black live matter … qustion it … and see what happens.
Or another way … people are a mix of stupid and clever.
It’s just some give the clever up for comfort.
I am not one … so therefore my life in this system is much harder.
Falling up is much more difficult than down.
You make a good point people have been taught ‘if you want it hard enough… you’ll succeed’
But the bias doesn’t come entirely from that cause it has been observed before people got that indoctrinated by the schools there is also an actual innate bias and I would actually say often teachers are really just trying to stimulate children to work harder because they think supporting the child’s ego (His bias of himself being above average) is what will make him happy and thus work harder (Their thoughts not mine).
And indeed part of being intelligent is knowing your ability, and I would love to say I quoted an ancient Greek Philosopher but it really is just a proverb “The more you know, the more you know you don’t know”
Or Socrates says something along the lines of: Even though neither he nor I know anything he thinks he knows while I know I don’t know therefore I am wiser. It is a paraphrase but that is what it comes down to.But in the end it is just a part, and another very important part is actually knowing and understanding something. That is what I am trying to say, nobody knows everything so try to learn from other people even if they may seem stupid they may make a good point now and then. Don’t believe them on their words just try to see if there is a point you could learn from some knowledge to be found some wisdom to be had.
Jesus f~~~ just post it as a video
A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!
I actually did but I am horrible at speaking it is on youtube I can put it here but I decided that if anyone wanted a horribly voiced video they would say so (Like you)
A wise person will always ponder another side or point.
These are the ones that MUST be silenced because that will lead to a balanced world.
Should one wish to dominate, thinking, logic, balance and fairness MUST be stopped.
This used to happen in wars and revolution, which is very costly on all sides.
All it take now is a generation of brainwashed feminist teachers and alumni to force the ideal on a nation.
So lets say … people are not inherently stupid but very easily taught a stupid and dangerous ethos … unless they have the ability to self question and doubt their own teachings.
It’s a double cluster fk that is now the root of our education.
This is Marxisms ‘long slow march’
Good point ILiveAgain but nature seems to have come before you in solving this problem 😉 There is the phenomena called MGTOW, and some other groups of people who also go in the opposite side and some even become the same kind of group that tries to dominate thinking and logic but on the OPPOSITE side. This seems to indicate there is some balancing act that is going on, an inhibiting factor to having one overwhelming side.
Though I don’t know what it is that is what it looks like.
Anonymous42But then how can it be that at the end of this discussion everyone thinks the everyone else is a moron.
The truth in all matters is the genius in any room, no such thing as “two sides”, just “right and wrong”, “truth and lie”, “ignorance and enlightenment”.
The only way to find truth is to search through the facts. Logic and a long trail of factual breadcrumbs tends to lift the cloak of confusion.
Fanatical feminism through the education systems has been suppressing the nature and spirit of men (masculinity)and voiding his role in a productive and fruitful society by assigning him (through mandates of law) to nothing more than a slave drone animal that can be extracted from his home at the behest of the sacred and now all-mighty golden vagina. No thanks, I’ll have none of that.
Men are intellectually superior to women no matter how hard libtards attempt to suppress us. They are the ones responsible for the ruination of the education system (another fact).
When you roll someone down the tack riddled road of facts, their tires tend to get punctured and go flat, but libtards (idiots) just close the road and ignore the facts, it’s a march to oblivion they’re on (another fact).
Indeed to get to the bottom of the matter you need to look at the facts and you get to the spirit of the matter in “No such thing as two sides, just right and wrong truth and lie ignorance and enlightenment” which is exactly why I also go into if it is either a compromise or both sides are not having the right facts and or use a logical fallacy.
However though you say men are intellectually superior Which though I would agree with I also think it is a bit more nuanced than that for example I know that in the past it has been put forward though I don’t remember by who the idea that women look more inside a group and men more to outside when looking for threats.
So even if there is a clear difference in intelligence there will always be something to learn there, simply because of that difference.
I don’t that libtards just close the road and ignore the fact because they do use facts…. just horribly well selected ones that specifically only support their case following the “Conclusion first facts come later” mentality but that is just my own opinion on them.
Anonymous42I say it a slightly different way, “don’t confuse me with the facts” mentality.
How do you think I figured out I live in a destroyed residential housing subdivision legally ordered into, and by law part of, a Massachusetts condemned family campground? All done by the stroke of a filthy pen on January 10th. 1974. (ALL BASED ON A LITANY OF DOCUMENTATION SUPPORTING MATERIAL FACTS OVER SEVERAL DECADES). A long and lethal train of judicial and executive abuse… A dead body politic… A black hole in the fabric of America…I shall not be bulls~~~ted by anyone, anything, anywhere, or at any time(the essence of man).
Women are exact opposite, the danger lies within their legal persuasions in writing the law based on hysteria. They invite condemnation…
You’re talking about marriage the age old institution “We women want everything so give it to us” not arguing against that but I rather look at how to improve myself can be done than wasting time on that or any government related institute in that matter and it is not just America the Netherlands are just as bad on it ^^ however there it is the opposite they force the child to go to a parent (mother especially) weekly even if that parent has attempted murder on that child.
The answer is Kruger – Dunning effect.
The dumb don’t realize that they are dumb.

Anonymous42they force
EXACTLY! “THEY FORCE”, and to each and every force there is an equal and opposite “reaction”. The slower we “react” to despotic force, the more likely we’ll be mastered by that force!
It’s like turning the rudder on destiny, the sooner you “react” the less effort you’ll need, and the redirect is much greater than it would have been through complacency and inaction.
We must be vigilant and on our toes at all times, otherwise you could be caught up in a different timeline where you have “no control”, and just like a large vessel, time will leave you stranded and broken on the rocks.
Anonymous42Exactly mgtower. This is why I get passed at you suckers for abusing mgtow concepts into the realm of politics and coming up with the assinine conclusion that doing anything about jihadi immigrants is white knighting.
Hey Survivor, what suckers? immigrants? White Knighting? I don’t get it? The western countries have castrated their men, making “legal options” reminiscent of “suck their dicks and let them rape your women while us politicians suck their asses”. Whatever a man does in secret alumni with his friends, or alone, to make himself/themselves safe, is something I totally respect, and will look the other way, but random acts of violence on strangers that “look” a certain way, is something I can’t agree with, it’s condemning a man for the package color that wraps his heart and soul, it’s bulls~~~ to agree with a mob out for mob justice, but a commando unit with accurate intelligence can do allot more damage to pure evil than some mob roaming the streets.
I’m not the asshole leaving the front door unlocked, why should I give a s~~~ about these same libtard c~~~s all lined up from Germany’s Angela Merkel, to feminist lovec~~~s kissing their f~~~ing feet?
I have damn little to no sympathy for the ignorance of woman throwing their nations into the lions cage…That meme dropped a couple times in a short time period on our site. Par for the course I suppose. Everything golden fades away pony boy.
Apple jack? pony boy?
Wolve (?) I have read through your original post 3 times now and I can’t make much sense of it. I suppose I must be stupid, or an idiot, or is it just that I am not knowledgeable or that I have different beliefs? You seem to equate the absence of knowledge to idiocy and stupidity with belief. You might want to google EPISTEMOLOGY.
But it would be impossible for both sides to be stupid or more stupid than the other. At least one side needs to have some sort of point?
However, all that not withstanding, the above quote is quite straight forward. However it is also utter nonsense. It is perfectly possible for both sides in an argument to be completely wrong, in fact it is very common. You only have to listen to a casual conversion on the street or in a bar to know this. The premise that one side or the other must have knowledge which imbues them the status of truth-bearer couldn’t be further from reality.
Take for example two everyday guys talking about their favourite sport teams. Both have in depth knowledge of their favourite team, they know all the players, they know all the statistics, they know all the history etc. Each guy passionately believes his team is the best and considers the other guy to be an idiot for not agreeing with his belief. But which guy is right? Who has the truth? Not necessarily either of them and likely neither. They simply have belief.
Now I’m not saying for a minute that belief based on knowledge is a bad thing, we all rely on such beliefs every day.
Take a man about to cross a bridge, he examines the bridge and to his knowledge it looks safe to cross so across he goes. Half way over, the bridge collapses and he falls in the river. So he believed the bridge was safe, as far as his knowledge and observations went, but this belief was mistaken. He did not know the truth about the state of the bridge, although he believed that he did. However, if he had crossed the bridge safely he would no longer believe the bridge was safe, he would KNOW it was safe. He would KNOW the TRUTH about the bridge.
So, to get back to your question, is everyone around us stupid. No, they are not, they are simply working on a belief system that we all use everyday in order to survive. The real idiots are those who do not realise this fact and believe others to be stupid for not sharing the same beliefs as themselves.
“Long is the way and hard, that out of Hell leads up to light.”
Anonymous42Does that make you special ops white knight, or do you perhaps see that this is just the jihadists getting their camel noses into the tent and that they will attack men too, in time?
I have no doubt that some of those immigrants are hard core fanatics, but I also can’t help to believe that some of them are MGTOW making their move to escape to a better situation, and have no intention or will to hurt anyone. Only god can tell the difference, all we can do is be vigilant in our own self defense. Wolves do come in sheep’s clothing, but not every man is a wolf… The problem is when society turns it’s back on the wolfs and allows them to devour the sheep, like we
sawsee in Calais… And the wholesale slaughter of Christians? Why is NOTHING said about that?
Thank the Feminazi, they’re the ones in control now! They decide what the people will and will not see!
It’s not just smoke and mirrors they’re playing with, it’s more like the fun-house between the c~~~ carousel and the marry’go’round is on fire!Haha no spacemonkey, you got the point right you just misinterpreted the intention of the post, for a lot of people do think that way a common way of thinking is that if someone is often wrong he is stupid I do not think of it that way myself however you often see people who get that feeling that everyone around them is an idiot.
And they come to that conclusion after disagreeing with other people very often and their confirmation bias kicks in to prove them right and what I was addressing was that feeling how that came to be whether if you feel that is that actually correct.
Basically to question a belief held by many so cause you don’t hold it, it isn’t strange for you not to get it cause if you come from the objective perspective of stupidity you will find the word doesn’t really make sense it is a tribalistic and / or emotional response rather than an objective measurement there hasn’t even been a definition of intelligence recognized how the hell are we supposed to call stupidity then? (different people have had different definitions of intelligence and none have been accepted by a majority)
So stupid is not a word you should take literally here and the post is really meant to challenge your beliefs and whether you agree with it or not you start thinking about is that is the only thing I wanted.
But for you who already held the same opinion of both sides have their own belief which based on statistics but in the end also mingled with a little bit of bias who is right? Nobody is really and you can learn something from a lot of different people (not all of them though) which is why I said at the end
“the only people who don’t know what they’re talking about is those who make big statements not having proven them.” with that I meant statements like you are stupid and the whole rest of the world know nothing this is the reality without realizing that they’re basing it on their beliefs the same way they’re accusing others of doing.Wolve, there is a reason we use the term “taking the red pill(s)” because literally everyone else is stuck in the cultural matrix. You cannot unplug them. They have to want to unplug.
